Default Thanks for the info

Hi Tom- Chesnok Red is a hardneck that I got from Territorial Seed a couple of years ago. It does real well in my garden when I can keep the gophers away from it. I've grown Music twice, and both times it dried up in storage before I could use it all. I did grow a lot, however, so it was inevitable that some would go south. I am currently growing Red Torpedo and a local variety of red onions (no name, a gift from a local Italian who has grown them for years), Stuttgarter risen, cebolla valencia and yellow Utah jumbo from Ferry-Morse, and several kinds of shallots. I have resisted using a refrigerator for storage only because I hate to pay PG&E, but that may be the way to go. I may have to dig a root cellar for the garlic, because I love garlic and want to keep it available all winter - that's why I was looking for info. Dave
